You did not travel to Orlando to eat mediocre Italian food at a resort. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is about 18 minutes from JW Marriott Bonnet Creek on International Drive, and everything on the menu is made from scratch — handmade pasta, Prime steaks, fresh seafood, housemade desserts.
The housemade gnocchi with pomodoro and burrata is the kind of dish that changes your opinion about Italian food in Orlando. So is the penne Verona with chicken and sundried tomatoes. The kitchen runs on imported ingredients, traditional techniques, and a family's 33 years of hospitality experience.
Florida grouper with crab risotto and citrus beurre blanc leads the seafood selections. Hand-cut Prime Black Angus, seared and served with fresh sides anchors the steak program. Happy Hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday-Friday 5-7 PM.
Free valet. No dress code. $13 kids menu. Open nightly 5-10 PM. That is the Vincenzo proposition.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Most restaurants on International Drive are corporate operations. Vincenzo is a family business — owned and run by the Navarra Group, which has been in hospitality for more than three decades.
That experience translates to service you can feel. The host remembers returning guests. The server knows the wine list cold. The kitchen accommodates allergies, preferences, and last-minute changes without drama.
For groups, Vincenzo offers the Amalfi Room for 15 to 50 guests and full restaurant buyouts for 150 or more. Custom menus, AV setup, and event coordination are handled by people who have done it over 1,500 times.
Family-owned, family-run, and built on the belief that every guest deserves to feel welcome.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Eighteen minutes is all it takes. I-4 East from the Lake Buena Vista area to International Drive, then north to ICON Park. Vincenzo is at the park entrance, and complimentary valet means no parking hassle.
Most Disney-area guests who visit Vincenzo do so on a recommendation — from a concierge, a review, or a friend who visited last year. The 18-minute drive is a small investment for the best Italian meal of the trip.
ICON Park gives the evening scope beyond dinner. Ride The Wheel, watch StarFlyer, browse shops, or simply enjoy the I-Drive atmosphere before heading back to your resort.
The drive back is quick and quiet. Most guests say they wish they had come earlier in the trip so they could come twice.
Third year in a row visiting on our Orlando trip. The gnocchi and lobster ravioli are both perfect.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
Before dinner, there is happy hour. Vincenzo's bar program runs deep: handcrafted cocktails, Italian and domestic wines, Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martinis, classic Negronis, draft beer, and a rotating specialty list.
Happy Hour: Monday all night, Tuesday through Friday 5 to 7 PM. $4 bottled beers. $7 wines by the glass. $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday drops wine-by-the-glass prices in half for the entire evening.
For private gatherings, the Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50. Full restaurant buyouts serve 150 or more. Custom Italian menus, AV support, and event coordination are included.
Start with a drink and see where the evening takes you. Most guests stay for dinner.
Real Italian food in a sea of chains. The valet was a lifesaver and the wine list was impressive.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
Expect real Italian food — handmade pasta, Prime steaks, fresh seafood. Expect a full bar with craft cocktails and a wine list that spans Italy and California. Expect desserts made in-house every day.
Expect no dress code, no pretension, and no pressure. Shorts, sandals, and park lanyards are common. So are suits and dresses. Vincenzo welcomes both without distinction.
Expect complimentary valet, attentive service, and the kind of meal that makes you want to come back before you leave Orlando.
